Special Weather Statement issued February 8 at 1:57PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
After a series of shortwaves that brought rain and gusty winds over the past few days, a stronger front will approach southeast Alaska from the west on Tuesday. South to southeast winds will increase through the day Tuesday. Confidence is increasing for windy conditions with strong gusts Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the front pushes west to east across southeast Alaska. Gales with storm force gusts will be possible ahead and along the frontal passage, especially along north-south oriented channels and along the coastal waters. A period of moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible with the frontal passage, but with the progressive nature of the front, flooding is not expected at this time. Another gale to potentially storm force low will quickly lift northeast into the Gulf and looks to push across southeast Alaska sometime later Wednesday into Thursday, bringing another round of strong gusty winds and moderate to heavy rainfall. Further details on the high wind and flooding potential for this system will be honed in on in the coming days. Looking further ahead, a cooling trend is favored to commence in the wake of these passing systems by late work week into the weekend. Snow levels will begin to lower and a colder outflow wind pattern could set up by late weekend. This could result in a return of snow for some coastal communities, especially across northern southeast Alaska. Further details on the pattern change and snow potential will be honed as the weekend approaches.
About
Trollers Cove Cabin offers a unique wilderness lodging experience on Prince of Wales Island within the Tongass National Forest. This 14x14-ft pan-abode style cedar log cabin sits in a protected cove surrounded by flat coastal terrain and old-growth forest of cedar, spruce, and hemlock. The cabin sleeps up to four people on wooden bunkbeds and a sleeping loft, and is equipped with a table, benches, wood stove, cooking counter, and basic supplies including an axe and splitting maul. The location provides exceptional opportunities for anglers, with bottom fishing and salmon trolling available off 20 Fathom Bank. The cove serves as anchorage for both commercial and pleasure boats, with a mooring buoy available on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters can take advantage of extended bear seasons in spring and fall, and deer hunting from late summer through late fall. Primitive trails extend from the cabin to nearby lakes and waterfalls, though visitors should have strong navigation skills as trails are not formally designated. Access is by boat or floatplane, located 38 miles from Ketchikan and 21 air miles from Craig. The cabin has no running water or electricity. Visitors must bring sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cook stove and fuel, food, water treatment supplies, cooking gear, light sources, toilet paper, and garbage bags. Water can be obtained from the creek but must be treated. At low tide, a 50-foot tidal flat emerges, exposing rocks and boulders. Wildlife is abundant, including eagles, shorebirds, Sitka black-tailed deer, and black bears. Scenic Spiral Cove lies to the north.
Directions
Access by boat or floatplane. Located 38 miles from Ketchikan and 21 air miles from Craig. An unimproved boat ramp at nearby Polk Inlet is available for launching small craft. Tide levels affect access. Refer to USGS map Craig B-1.
